Which state, mentioned for occasional sightings, is related to the eastern reintroduction efforts rather than the core AWBP route?
Answer
Georgia
Georgia is noted as a location where Whooping Cranes are occasionally sighted, but it is explicitly stated that these are not primary breeding or wintering grounds for the massive migratory AWBP flock. These transient sightings are almost certainly connected to the experimental dispersal zones or the general activity of the newer, shorter-distance migratory or non-migratory eastern reintroduction efforts. Any confirmed observation in Georgia is significant because it suggests the potential realized range of these managed flocks extends further than just the core migratory corridor between Canada and Texas.
